Sorry for the downtime earlier. I'm going to look into moving rva.party to a different datacenter with better uptime history.

@epicmorphism You don't have to follow it. You can block or mute it if you want. It's a bot. There are bots on the fediverse.

@epicmorphism Hi, this is an RSS bot run by me as part of rva.party's infrastructure. I mirror several RSS feeds of projects run by Richmond residents that I think are doing good work.

Here's my announcement of these accounts when I first set them up.

I'm piping the status text directly from the feed, and I agree that the allcaps is a little jarring. I'll massage the titles a bit from now on.

Okay I think we're back. Apologies for the downtime. I'll investigate further later today.

100% CPU… hmmMMM

Uploads are currently broken because our cloud storage provider is down, and has been for 16 hours! That's pretty bad!!

If you're really anxious, you can keep an eye on the upstream status:

welcome to the party @flankstaek!

@io done

Display names and bios can now be longer! I bumped the maximum length to 64 and 512 characters, respectively.

Happy New Year!

Yeah I'm losing it a bit here. Send hugs.

Okay I think we're humming along again. Thanks for your patience.

I'm having some intermittent trouble with media after moving to Wasabi, and I'm having trouble tracking it down. In the meantime, if you're having issues here with mobile apps, try the Web interface—it handles missing media by giving remote media links instead. #MastoAdmin

We're now using Wasabi object storage for media! Thanks to @angristan for the excellent guide.

We had some trouble with statuses federating from https://rva.party to other instances over the last couple hours, mostly due to dwindling disk space. We're back for now, but I'm setting up an S3 service to try to address the underlying issue.

Sorry for the repeated posts by our RSS bots—I misconfigured database permissions.

If you see it again, please let me know.
